The Disappearance

The Disappearance

Last year Body Glove won the Imaginarium by bringing the “8-Bit” video game theme to life—literally building a Mario Brothers set on the beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. This time around, we set out to execute a darker concept, something along the lines of the Creature From The Black Lagoon meets The Blair Witch Project. During the course of the shoot, the dark concept turned into dark reality when they almost lost the life of one of their own.

The Disappearance

The Disappearance follows a group of four professional surfers and six filmmakers on what should have been the ultimate surf trip to the jungles of Indonesia but quickly became an excursion into heart-stopping terror. As the group discovers a perfect, secret wave, strange images begin to appear on film. Are they sharks, alligators, or something else? Fear sets in. Accusations fly. By night, unseen evil stirs beyond their campfire’s light. By day, large animal prints are discovered nearby. Members of the crew begin to disappear one by one. As the end of their journey approaches, they realize that what they are filming is not an epic trip but their own descent into unimaginable horror.

This is the footage found on the multiple hard drives and cameras recovered at the destroyed campsite. The disappearance of the eight adventurers is still under investigation. Two survivors have been questioned repeatedly and continue to tell investigators strange stories of a sea creature. Search and rescue has finally reached the remote jungle campsite, but contact has been lost as of this press release. All attempts to establish contact with the search party have gone unsuccessful.
